Summary:
Foster-Glocester has one middle school in this list: Ponaganset Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 396 students. With no other local middle school in the data, families have no within-area school comparison here. The clearest takeaway is that Ponaganset’s 2025–2026 English Language Arts proficiency was above the state result, while its math and science results were below it.
Ponaganset Middle School is the area’s only school, so there is no local top-versus-bottom ranking; against the state, its strongest result was ELA. Proficiency was 40.2% in ELA, 7.1 percentage points above the state’s 33.1%; math was 29.4%, 2.5 points below the state, and science was 28.1%, 3.0 points below. Grade results reveal a notable contrast in math: grade 7 reached 38.7%, 10.8 points above the state, while grade 8 was 20.9%, 9.3 points below. ELA exceeded the state in all three grades, but the advantage narrowed from 12.3 points in grade 6 to 1.7 points in grade 8.
The latest reported results were lower than the prior year in all three subjects, with the largest drop in science. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Ponaganset Middle School declined 9.3 percentage points in ELA, from 49.5% to 40.2%; 3.3 points in math, from 32.7% to 29.4%; and 13.9 points in science, from 42.0% to 28.1%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 30th of 68 for 2025–2026, at the 56th percentile with 3 stars; its earlier rank was 20th of 64 in 2023–2024. Reported context includes a 12.3 student–teacher ratio and a 25.25% free/reduced-lunch rate in 2024–2025. Because this is the only listed school, these figures do not show how its context or results compare with other area schools.
